NoHitter
So it was a beeboy + Dake scumteam after all? With maybe Gumica as the third scum from the QH.

So much for "sure" scum in Frostings, right Sakura?

Also I knew Sakura was scum but no one listened

Scum doctor too op.
Also it didnt help that our doctor got vig after contracting giving us a 2x kill last night JUST IN CASE.

I'm surprised how i went from almost lynched to a perfect scum win after that replace in.

Night actions
Finalized Initial Role PMs (Yeah, I know it's hard to read)

Mafia Powerup Mechanic
For every two magical girls aligned with town that contract, the mafia gain the ability to give one member a role from the following list (each member can only gain one total):

Godfather (kill immune+investigative immune) I decided to give the role both because the kill-protection would have a very low chance to be useful (0% in this case, as mafia had the vig shot), and there would be only one case where the investigative immune ability would be useless. This ensured that this role would always have at least some use to scum.
Ninja (track/watch immune) I must have forgotten to remove this one. I was tweaking the setup up until the game started and must not have noticed that this role was useless between the time that I changed whoever had Watcher and when the game started.
Encryptor (day chat while alive) Day chat can be extraordinarily strong for scum, but an Encryptor has downsides that reduce its effectiveness.
Jailkeeper (ability to block+protect) Obvious why this is good.
Strongman (kill bypasses block and protect) With a full doctor, global protect, roleblocker, reactive roleblocker, and bulletproof in the game, mafia really would need this in the worst case scenario.

No matter what set-up would be rolled, the town would have an extraordinary amount of power. The set-up was designed around the idea that town could be incredibly strong, but would give mafia more tools to counter their power the more they powered up. I feel that despite how swingy the game is, mafia would have a pretty good chance with most PR combinations they're given.

And no, mafia could not power themselves up this way. -_-

Mafia Ability: Compulsive Commute (Automatically commute each night phase. Vanillize after N2 if not contracted)

I think that's mostly it. I know I didn't disclose the contracted ability flavor in this post (I'll do it later when I'm less lazy), but I don't think I missed anything else.

Also, all the mistakes I made as a mod this game were because my organization of everything was completely terrible. Don't have two different documents that you have to make use of in order to create updated role PMs by mix and matching. It doesn't work.

I hope you guys had fun with this game regardless. It was fun watching you guys try to figure out the setup ( *:

(PS: Fuck Setsuen for making it 0-2 that the most interesting parts of my setups don't get used >:/)

Also, this setup got altered even more than Higurashi did to reach the current state, just to let you guys know how difficult this was to try to balance while also keeping it in flavor.

I was headdesking at the roles mafia ended up rolling at the start of the game and thought they'd end up facerolling with them, but both of them ended up getting blocked.

This type of mechanic really needs work to not run into shit like this.

Which then I went into detail saying u are most likely not scum bc you couldn't perform any kilsl for two nights ;<
Is shocked about Sakura scum and DD+beeboy being town though lol.
Navizel
er. I didn't even get to use my contracted ability.

I wasn't even able to form a contract with myself.

now it makes sense why NoHitter said Sakura looks normal in D2 iirc even though Sakura was not the Sakura from D1. NH also said replacements lose their towniness as time goes by (non-verbatim)

dammit i hate being town

oh well at least i proved the guy wrong
Sakura
Ftr setsuen, i kept you alive most of the time because I knew i could manipulate you, because I knew that your reads were wrong. I hope this helps you note that you aren't always right :>

Also me wanting to be scanned + leaving Dake alive should have raised all kinds of red flags, im surprised it didnt, Dake didn't die because we obviously wanted him to scan me and get a town result.

Also i asked CBot, and neither beeboy nor Dake would have died by targeting me so that's where my plan started.
Sakura
Oh also

I might abuse that next time im scum and see someone replace into a town slot.
And yeah literally the main reason Drezi died was because he was replacing out, but also because he was interfering with my mislynches (mainly Frostings)
Drezi
replacements have little to do with reads. I scumread TN, and I scumread Sakura based on her own actions too and noone gave a damn.

anyway this game was really one sided with us having beeboy SNB and Sona for nothing but distracting town. also this is why I won't play with beeboy again, not only he does stupid and scummy stuff as town, we can't even lynch him for it when he rolls scum cause we already know that it's the norm for his townplay aswell.. and he /ins for every game so.. yeah.

and yes I replaced out becasue it was disappointing that town just sheeped Sakura, and having beeboy blame ME for his situation was the last drop really.

maybe town will learn that making posts that make sense =/= conf town.

@Sakura you got me to do your bidding? c'mon I just wanted to stay alive (see dead QT, I was wrong about RB though) and I considered sona/beeboy PL worthy anyway -_-
Sakura
While undoubtedly you did scumread me in the beginning you ended up sheeping me onto beeboy and sona in either case, that's how I saw it, regardless of whatever reason you may have had for it.
Tho the dead QT does hint towards it being a ploy, it doesn't show why you sheeped me.
The thing i hate with beeboy is how "he so knew that I was scum" yet never attempted to get me lynched past day 1, if he had truly thought I was scum he wouldn't have followed the plan, if i wasn't a godfather Dake would have died from scanning me, making beeboy die and in addition to a 3rd kill that could've won us the game right there.

I really hate it when people go "oh you were so obvscum, but i couldn't get you lynched" yet never attempted to push a case or anything on me, to me it looks like they just don't want to admit defeat and are sore losers. Because if they "knew i was scum" they would have definitively at least keep attempting to lynch me, that's what's town win con isn't it?
So, back to that point, either beeboy was fooled by me, or was playing against his wincon, which one is it.

I never voted beeboy, and I was the one who suggested Sona instead actually.. Even though I said it countless times that both of them are worthy of a PL and I wouldn't mind either being lynched off, my main reason for proposing Sona over beeboy was that I didn't want to lynch the target YOU suggested. I said all of this D1 too.
Drezi
And the only reason I turned to such a lynches, is that noone gave a damn about my case on you, everyone just townread you because omg it's Sakura, she posts nice things must be town. At that point, if anything I shouldn't have let my frustration show with posts like this, I'll be more careful I guess.

would you rather lynch Drezi with me
That's amusing, but it'll have to be an NK if you want me dead :^)
Sakura
Hmm perhaps so.
I thought you voted beeboy too back then.
And I knew you weren't going to follow me, that's part of why you had to die so I could take control as "town" leader :P

But most of my rant is to beeboy's "I knew she was scum but ppl wouldn't follow" If anyone actually tried was Frostings.
beeboy123
D1 - wanted Sakura lynch
D2 - SNB was anti town
D3 - I didn't realize Dake targeting a scum was gg
D4 - too late to play around things like godfather as we were in MyLo

That is basically a summery of my thought process
beeboy123
Also I was pressuring Sakura as I was going under the assumption there was no godfather so town would have known Sakura was scum d4. Town would have lost either way but I am getting hate for my play this game so I may as well show you my thought process throughout it.
beeboy123
Also scum could take advantage of inactivity as NH was able to get prodded 3 times (unless my eyes fail which happens a lot without glasses) but could get away with it
Sakura
tbf i was legit busy during most of D2, I never lied about that.
Sakura
But it's still interesting to see how everyone's inner demons come to surface when a game like this happens.
Kind of reminds me why I didn't want to play here, I get a good scum game for once and all I see is town blaming each other.
Oh well...
Drezi
Well sorry about that, I know I should be more tolerant, I'll just refrain from joining games I likely wouldn't enjoy too much. Well this was a replace in too, I did not sign up originally.
Sephibro
the day 3 no lynch was hilarious

most clever town ever

I was also legitimately busy during those days.

Town making contracts in early game was really a bad play, that and town apathy just boosted scum more :(

It was a good game though.

no real reason for me to make a contract so early though that's why i didn't. kill-immune is so good.
Sakura
The funny part is that I predicted the game would end before anyone vanillized if none of our team got lynched, which is why i had no qualms contracting N1.

Another big balance point. It was initially shorter but now I see froggy would've been most likely correct that no one would've really done it at all if it wasn't extended.
Sakura
I just realized.
You guys never asked Gumica for his protect targets... or rather he never mentioned them
DUN DUN DUN.
Tanzklaue
the problem with osu towns is that they depend on the experienced people to solve the game for them.

so they never target experienced players.

so... yea. that's kinda bad. allows you to manipulate town easily if oyu have any kind of reputation.

look at the recently concluded mafia games and you'll see that if scum has at least one "forum elder", they'll most likely win unless town randomlynches or randomvigs him.
Gumica
Yeah i was surprized noone asked me about my targets. but in the end, they wouldn't matter anyways, since i'd say i protected people i townreaded and tought they'd get eliminated from my PoV
Gumica
So technically, it wouldn't change much :>

Here be the extra flavor I never got to putting up until now, the contracted ability flavor:

Kanome Madoka
Contracted Action: Your powers amplify your ambitions, even enough to provide yourself with a direct mental link to one other player in the game. You will open a neighborhood with that player which will be permanently open. Note that if one of you dies, the link will still remain active.

Akemi Homura
Contracted Action: Your time powers become even more potent, allowing you to turn back time for a single night phase. You will pay close attention to everyone who dies this night phase, then return back and prevent all deaths from happening. Note that you will be only able to protect any specific person from one kill. Only deaths from this night phase are prevented.

Miki Sayaka
Contracted Action: You have witnessed for yourself the consequences of forming a contract and you have begun to fall into despair. You can take your emotions out on another player in the game, reducing them to a deceased pulp. Basically, you kill them.

Sakura Kyouko
Contracted Action: You have sworn to yourself that you will not use your abilities for anyone but yourself, and this egotistical view has rubbed off on your personality. Now you believe that you are more important than everyone else. You can select a player tonight and steal their vote for the next day phase. These votes can be used on different players.

Tomoe Mami
Contracted Action: The truth is too much for you. Now you understand the true secrets behind becoming a magical girl, and your mind can’t take the pressure. For this night phase, anyone who targets you becomes roleblocked.

Momoe Nagisa
Contracted Ability: You just had to take this a step further, didn’t you? You’ve gained the ability to switch places with another player for this night phase. This means that the player is removed from the game for that night phase. But wait, why is that the only effect? I guess you got bored and went home afterwards.

Kyubey
Contracted Action: Congratulations on forming a contract with yourself. Since you can’t really contract with yourself, you can instead temporarily provide yourself with a partner of your own species that will do exactly the same things you do! You gain a double vote for the next day, but it’s both compulsive and only usable on the same person.

Walpurgisnacht
Contracted Action: Your presence is intimidating now that you’re here, but I guess you’re not really all that interested in doing anything destructive yet. You are currently more interested in causing these puny humans to panic even more at your presence. You can intimidate any player in the game to use their ability on you each night phase, if they would use one. Unfortunately, you can only use this on one player at a time.
